Trump Administration Likely to Un-ban Bitcoin Mixers, Dept. of Treasury Says They are āNot Unlawfulā
Mon, 09 Mar 2026 18:15:13The US Treasury reported to Congress that Bitcoin and crypto privacy mixers are not unlawful. It further added that āLawful Digital Asset Usersā could use mixers to enable greater privacy. The statement is being seen as a precursor to unbanning Bitcoin mixers. The U.S. Treasury Departmentās Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has banned certain Bitcoin mixers, such as Tornado Cash (in August 2022). It also provides a key regulatory clarity for privacy tokens like ZCash and Monero. Further, as Ethereum proposes shielded accounts to enhance privacy, it could provide legal clarity on the same.

PSA: NDAX exchange is stealing funds, deleting customer questions, ignoring phone calls
Mon, 09 Mar 2026 19:10:37Yesterday, I posted on r/NDAX with a theory that theyāve gone bankrupt. Today the mods deleted not just my post, but dozens of others reporting that they couldnāt access nor withdraw their deposits. When I tried to call their customer support phone line, they hung up on me! No joke, the robot voice said āweāre unable to connect you with a representative, weāll call you back when we can, thank you for your understandingā. Yeah right. Two days ago, NDAX stole my crypto deposit. IT IS NOT USER ERROR: Iāve verified the deposit address on the correct chain and it even has a history of transactions with my personal wallets from my previous deposits to NDAX. The coins are exactly in the NDAX wallet theyāre supposed to be. I can see my coins sitting there on the block explorer. NDAX exchange is actively stealing from users while deleting & ignoring reports to covet their tracks! I donāt expect to ever see my coins again. But at least Iād like to warn others and spread the word before NDAX can steal even more. submitted by /u/Razaberry [link] [comments]

Oil crosses $110 for the first time since 2022 as Iran war keeps Strait of Hormuz closed, forces shut-ins
Mon, 09 Mar 2026 14:57:28This morning, Bitget X handle tweet "USO Oil Surge Incoming" and surprising Oil hit $119 (WTI hitting an intraday high of $119.48, up over 30% in days), marking its highest level since the 2022 energy crisis, as fresh US-Israel-Iran strikes shut the Strait of Hormuz, triggered production cuts across Saudi, Iraq, UAE and Kuwait, and sparked fears of a full Gulf supply blackout. USO ETF saw record retail inflows flooding in, gasoline futures jumped 10%+ to multi-year highs, and traders are now pricing in $130ā$150 targets if the escalation continues. Do you think analyst speculation of $170 is possible? submitted by /u/Comfortable_Fly_7943 [link] [comments]

BTC trades near $67K as Global stocks plunge triggering massive selloff across major markets.
Mon, 09 Mar 2026 08:37:50Crypto markets are clinging to relative stability on Monday as a wave of selling tears through virtually every other asset class on the planet, from Mumbai to Manhattan, in what is shaping up to be one of the most consequential trading days in recent memory. The numbers are staggering. Two trillion dollars has been wiped from U.S. stock market futures alone. The S&P 500 is down 2.5%, the Nasdaq is off 2.9%, and the Dow Jones is shedding 2.6% before a single share has traded in New York. In India, the carnage is already visible on the scoreboard: the Sensex has plunged over 2,400 points, and the Nifty has broken below 23,800, erasing approximately 12 lakh crore rupees in investor wealth in a single session. submitted by /u/minibuddy0 [link] [comments]

Wall Street just plugged directly into the Kraken.
Mon, 09 Mar 2026 12:02:04Nasdaq has officially partnered with Payward (Kraken) to build a gateway connecting the stock market to the blockchain. This is the Logic Check on the biggest TradFi/Crypto bridge of 2026. The Logic Check (The Reality): 1)Eliminating the Hedge Gap: Historically, tokenized stocks were synthetic or wrapped, often lacking a direct legal link to the underlying share registry. The Logic: This partnership ensures that the token transfer is the transfer of the underlying security. By integrating blockchain records directly into the issuerās official share registry, Nasdaq is removing the legal ambiguity that has kept institutions away from RWAs (Real World Assets). 2)The Always-On Capital Market: Traditional equities only trade 9:30 AM ā 4:00 PM EST, Monday through Friday. The Logic: Through the xStocks gateway, these assets can enter permissionless environments. This enables 24/7 liquidity and automated DeFi utility (like using tokenized Apple shares as collateral for a loan) while maintaining the issuer's governance and price integrity. 3)The Master Account Synergy: This news comes just days after Kraken became the first crypto firm to receive a Federal Reserve Master Account. The Logic: Kraken now has direct access to Fedwire. When you pair Direct Fiat Settlement with Nasdaq Tokenized Equities, you get Atomic Settlement. This means a user could trade a stock for a stablecoin and have the cash settle in a bank account almost instantly, bypassing the T+1 or T+2 settlement delays of traditional finance. BS METER: Payward x Nasdaq Partnership The Verdict: LOW BS / HISTORIC INFRASTRUCTURE Why itās Low BS: This isn't just a press release partnership. It involves Nasdaq's core market infrastructure and complies with the SEC's 2026 Staff Statement on Tokenized Securities. With $25B in xStocks volume already processed, the tech is battle-tested. The General's Move: This is the industrialization of the convergence narrative. Nasdaq is essentially adopting Krakenās technology as a standard for the future of equity distribution. It signals that the future of the stock market isn't just digitalāit's on-chain. This is the Endgame for Real World Assets. Nasdaq isn't fighting crypto anymore; they are using it to upgrade the plumbing of the entire stock market. Source submitted by /u/semanticweb [link] [comments]
WLFI investors to lose governance voting rights unless they stake the only 20% of tokens unlocked.
Mon, 09 Mar 2026 08:46:15With the trump family involved, you could see this coming from the onset... World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the crypto project linked to the family of US President Donald Trump, is again under scrutiny after a new governance proposal raised concerns among investors. The project raised more than $550 million from investors with the promise that early token holders would help guide the platformās future decisions. However, the latest governance proposal could reduce the voting power of those early investors unless they agree to lock up the only tokens they can currently sell. The proposal targets roughly 20% of WLFI tokens that are already unlocked and tradable. Under the plan, these tokens would lose their governance voting rights unless holders stake them for at least 180 days. In return, investors would receive a 2% annual yield paid in WLFI tokens, though the rate can be changed by the project team. Staking requires investors to lock their tokens, meaning they cannot sell them during the staking period. submitted by /u/Woodpecker5987 [link] [comments]

What They DON'T Tell You About Borrowing Against Bitcoin
Mon, 09 Mar 2026 19:52:09I'm so glad I found Bitcoin Katie, her advice for those of us who might be everyday householder Bitcoiners..esp. considering how often I've seen reports about people 'losing their shirts' betting against BTC however it's done. Awhich is why I really think the video contains what could be considered sound advice for the average holder. because what works for the uber-wealthy & financial institutions doesn't always work for the average Joe & Jane. and it's true borrowing against Bitcoin (BTC) can help holders access cash liquidity [or other cryptocurrencies] without selling off all of their favorites + it's also true it can enable someone to maintain exposure to future [Bitcoin] price appreciation. but it's explained why that tactic is employed, primarily, by larger financial institutions & those individuals who are so asset rich that losing such a bet wouldn't cause an actual change in their material lifestyle [aahhh, must be nice for those lucky enough to have such choices..what must that be like?š¤šš¢š„¹]. but whatever what one's station in life is I hope this helps clarify why it's so important to never bet & or invest more than we can afford to lose. because even though most of us who are adults have heard this advice, repeatedly, sometimes that FOMO can be a little too hypnotizing.š šµāš« and good luck to everyone however you all decide to try & make your & your family's quality of life better by choosing to give yourselves exposure to Bitcoin.šŖš§§šš submitted by /u/LatinumGirlOnRisa [link] [comments]

Crypto exchanges lost $2.4 billion to hacks in just over a year, 71% came from a single incident
Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:48:04Hereās a breakdown of the largest exchange exploits from January 2025 to February 2026. On the CEX side, losses exceeded $2.0 billion. The Bybit hack in February 2025 alone accounted for $1.46 billion. Thatās 71% of total CEX losses. The remaining top 5 CEX exploits were Binance ($300M, linked to the October 10 crash), Bitget ($100M), Nobitex ($90M), and Phemex ($80M). The most common point of failure? Compromised private keys, with 3 of the top 5 hacks originating from social engineering and UI-phishing attacks. DEX exploits were significantly smaller in comparison. Cetus led at $223M, followed by Balancer ($128M), GMX ($42M), Hyperliquid ($17M), and SwapNet ($13.5M). The primary attack vector for DEXs was smart contract vulnerabilities. Where do you mostly store your capital? Source: https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/cex-dex-trading-activity-report-2026 submitted by /u/khai0001 [link] [comments]

Crypto markets were pretty much the only place you could trade during the Iran strikes. And it keeps happening
Sun, 08 Mar 2026 20:35:00This keeps happening. Geopolitical shock drops over the weekend, crypto and commodities move hard in real time, and traditional markets are just closed. Happened a few weeks ago with the US-Israel-Iran escalation, happening again now. Every trader sees the price moving and can't do anything about it on legacy platforms. Hyperliquid stepped up both times. Oil-linked perps moved 5-6%, tens of millions in volume came in within hours. For that window it was genuinely the only live price signal available. Credit where it's due, they proved the demand is real. But the same limitation keeps showing up The traders who showed up were mostly retail. Institutional desks with serious exposure mostly watched from the sidelines, because the infrastructure wasn't built for them. What they need: FIX API and WebSocket connectivity, the standards they already plug into everywhere T+0 atomic settlement instead of T+2 Portfolio cross-margining that doesn't trap capital Regulations Compliant Execution that isn't sharing blockspace with everything else on the network Hyperliquid proved the appetite exists. The missing piece is infrastructure that institutional capital can rely on when it matters. That's what we're building at Sphinx Protocol Sovereign chain written in Rust, modular architecture, permissioned validator set. Purpose-built for onchain commodities trading, not adapted from something else + regulations compliant. Published specs are available if you want to dig into the details.
